I ended up having to go to ER on several occasions from pain caused by the "nerve compression"
I wasn't able to walk for months, and had extreme pain for two years. I was 27 when I was first crippled by mystery Back pain that had been building in intensity for months.
Eventually the pain was linked to a herniated disc and L6.
Chiropractic was step one. Daily physio was step two.
Excercise, Excercise, Excercise, was the MOST important thing.
Once I could stand again, I started taking bellydance classes from YouTube, and guess what?
the movements focus ENTIRELY on the sacral area,
and became the best pain solution ever.
Walking, and elliptical helped as well.
Non-steroid anti-inflammatory pain killers helped, in between.
Mine was Ketoprofin, which helped with pain, but also was safe with my heart.
The long term treatment will include yoga for the rest of my life, to help build the up the muscles in the absence of structural support.
Another thing....no more desk jobs. Forget it.
Avoid sitting for extended periods of time....and if you already have a desk job, try getting up and taking a quick walk every few hours.....
or stand up and touch your toes,
and be VERY aware of any stiffness or pain you are feeling in your back...
I recently had to quit the first "real" job I have worked in 2 years, because it was a desk jobs.
I had been pain free for six months, and then suddenly, within a two months of working there, my pain "attacks" suddenly re-appeared, starting from weekly, every four days, to every other day.
I was suddenly back at the chiropractor's more and more often,
and after the final attack I admitted that it was time to quit.
......
so...take care of your spine...
and don't think of your extra vertabrae as a bad thing,,,,
if you happen to be a bellydancer, (or ever thought of becoming one)
in my chiropractors words "you were literally born to do it"
Treatment for lumbarization of the S1 vertebra involves managing symptoms such as lower back pain through a combination of physical therapy, pain medications, and lifestyle modifications. In severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be considered to stabilize the spine. However, the decision for surgery should be carefully evaluated by a healthcare professional.

How many people have 6 lumbar vertebrae?
Approximately 7-8% of the human population have 6 lumbar vertebrae instead of the typical 5. This condition is known as lumbarization of S1 vertebrae and is considered a normal anatomical variant.
Is there any disc between S1 and S2 vertebrae?
No, there is no intervertebral disc between the first (S1) and second (S2) sacral vertebrae. The sacrum is a triangular bone at the base of the spine formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae, and intervertebral discs are found between most other vertebrae in the spine to provide flexibility and shock absorption.
What is L5-S1 is rudimentary?
L5-S1 rudimentary means that the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebrae are underdeveloped or fused together abnormally. This condition can lead to lower back pain and nerve compression symptoms. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or surgery in severe cases.
What are vertebrae and what is their function?
A vertebrae are bones in the spinal column (also called spine or backbone)The function of the spinal column is to protect the soft spinal cord and to support the body and hold the head upright.Plural for vertebra. Bony segments forming the human spinal column.31-33 total vertebrae (most adults have 33 total vertebrae)Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7): 7Thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12): 12Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5): 5Sacral vertebrae (S1-S5): 5Coccygeal vertebrae: 3-5IT IS THE SMALL BONES THAT FORM THE SPINAL CORDvertebrae i a series of bones to make up the spine. A vertabrae is an animal with a back bone. There are five classes of vertabrae: amphibeans, birds, fish, mamals, and reptiles.
How are the vertebrae numbered in the human spine?
The vertebrae in the human spine are numbered based on their region from top to bottom. There are 7 cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12), 5 lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5), 5 sacral vertebrae (S1-S5 fused into one bone), and 4 coccygeal vertebrae (Co1-Co4 fused into one bone).

Severe facet arthritis in L5-S1?
The L5 is the lowest of the vertebrae of the lumbar and S1 is the first vertebra of the sacrum. Severe facet arthritis is when the sacs between these vertebrae become inflamed and arthritic.
What causes lumbarization of the s1 and how can it be treated?
Lumbarization of the s 1, or top segment of the sacrum, refers to a birth defect where the sacrum is not fused to the rest of the spine properly. Experts believe it is simply something that happens inside the womb, and very rarely affects a person's health.
Can lumbarization of s1 be treated?
The sacrum bone in the posterior pelvis comes from the fusing of 5 sacral vertebrae, which are numbered from superior (S1) to anterior (S5). The sacral bones fully fuse typically by around age 23, but sometimes the S1 vertebra does not fus with the others. When this happens, it's called lumbarization.
What are the consequences of lumbarisation of the s1?
Lumbarization (US) lumbarisation (UK) refers to a spinal bone that takes on some of the appearances and physical characteristics of another type of vertebrae or spinal bone. At S1 lumbarisation means the S1 segment, which is usually, one of five fused segments making up the sacrum or tail bone, is not fully fused or attached to the rest of the tail bone. IT is a "sacral" segment that looks like a "lumbar" segment. It appears to be 6th lumbar vertebrae. It may have a disc or a rudimentary disc space. Functionally, a lumbarized S1 usually does not have all the functions of a normal lumbar vertebra. In most instances, this finding is interesting, but does not usually cause pain or disability. In some rare cases the joint may become irritated and painful due to injury.
Is there any disc between S1 and S2 vertebrae?
No, there is no intervertebral disc between the first (S1) and second (S2) sacral vertebrae. The sacrum is a triangular bone at the base of the spine formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae, and intervertebral discs are found between most other vertebrae in the spine to provide flexibility and shock absorption.
Does the lumbar vertebrae curve anteriorly or posteriorly in the L5-S1 facet syndrome?
anteriorly - toward the front.
What does L5-S1 stand for?
